And our unemployment rate is the highest it has been since October 2021.

This is the largest increase in full-time jobs since May 2020.

We’ve seen a net loss of 23,500 full-time jobs to date in 2025.

But they lost 15,400 the month before, so this is pretty much a wash.

Since the start of the year, the province has lost over 35,000 full-time jobs.

The public sector increased by 3,000, however, marking 4 months in a row that the public sector has outperformed the private sector in Alberta.

And they were all women workers. The province also saw the largest loss in overall jobs in Canada.

2 out of every 3 new jobs in Alberta last month were in the public sector.

And yet Alberta still had the fourth largest unemployment rate in the country.
